This is the main board on The Outhouse, where Outhousers talk about everything. No topics are off limits, and it doesn't have to be about comics. All the topics from the other boards also show up in The Asylum, so you never have to leave1

I did preorder Titanfall and Destiny. I also ordered Watchdogs and tomb raider so I think my next Gen games are set.

Also on the fence for Forza 5.

AC4 is so fun. I rented it last weekend and now I'm suffering withdrawals.

Until I can work up the extra money, I decided I should work my way through the first three games (yes, I know the second game is a trilogy but they sell 'em all together now so I'm considering them the same game ). I have played a little bit of the first and second but this time I'm gonna make a concerted effort to finish them.

Man, NBA 2K14 drives me nuts. It's a great-looking game, and the core gameplay is fantastic. But man, almost every single one of the trappings is totally fucked.

The game is crippled by a pervasive Virtual Currency system that forces it to be online at all times (so even the SINGLE-PLAYER GM and Career modes don't work without an internet connection), and to top it off, their servers are as stable as Pop Rocks in Diet Coke. The menus are confusing and barely functional. The career mode is borderline rigged at times because they need certain things to happen for the "plot" to work. Loading is slow, and the game tends to get stuck during these loads, forcing you to quit out.

Sony President Andrew House has announced PlayStation Now, a new games streaming service that aims to bring older PlayStation games to PS4, PS3, PS Vita and other devices.

PlayStation Now, which will stream games from the original PlayStation, PS2 and PS3 eras first on PS3 and PS4, will kick off on PS3 with a closed beta in the US at the end of January, with a full rollout planned for some time this summer. Users will be able to rent games individually or pay for a PlayStation Now subscription. Sony aims to eventually expand the service beyond Sony devices too.
